College Football is the greatest spectator sport in America. Tailgating is an art form, sampling the local fare, traditions and partaking in a beverage or two is a must. Atmosphere is everything! If you don't attend a game, you can still tailgate right in the confines of your own man-cave. Enjoy the site!

Bye Bye Ball St. and David Letterman...Coach price can still be heard saying "Roll tide roll!" more like roll over and submit to the more game gators and Tim teabag...Sam Bradford may be the best college quarterback ever....Did the BCS get it right this year for the title game? Sorry Trojan fans, not PAC 10's year...what the hell is Ohio State doing in another BCS game? Go Horns...from the great classic movie Dumb and Dumber one Horn fan can be heard saying " Kick his ass Seabass!!" And so Ohio State will embarrass the Buckeye state once again.....In perhaps the best game of the day, most of us were asleep when the mighty Bearcats of Cincy mounted a big 4th quarter comeback and knocked off the the long hairs of Hawaii....Why is Charlie Weiss still employed?

So the BCS is all set, make sure to sign up for my Yahoo College Bowl Pickem in the lower left.

Dan From The Tailgate

DFT

I live for college football weekends. I love tailgating before and after games and absorbing the atmosphere and traditions of the host school. I am on a quest to see a game in every "real" stadium for D1A football in the country and attend as many games and Tailgates as I can. It is more fun to accomplish this with friends and family, thus the DFT Nation has grown far and wide over the last 15 years. I have also added lower Division schools as part of my annual mix. Each Season, I will travel the country and attend numerous games in college stadiums that I have not previously been to and take in the whole experience and blog about it.

I also like to hear about your game day experiences each week. But it is not just about attending different stadiums, our Tailgate has many repeat locations each year for traditional games that are just plain fun like Army- Navy. Last but not least, I am a college football polygamist. Born a Notre Dame fan, Big OU Sooners and Boise State fan. And of course I root on Army and my Alma Mater Frostburg State. Nonetheless, I love all college football and there is no such thing as a bad game.
